The Premier Online Theme Parks Guide

Painful as any ride I have ever been on. The leg room is not large enough for someone of my size (63&quot, and over every hill my knees would slam into the seat in front of me. But that doesnt take away the fact that this coaster is great. The drop is very fast, the airtime is plentiful, and although its a little rough, its still a blast to ride. This is a quality coaster, but it has aged a bit.

"Aged" is definitely the operative term here.

Magnum broke tons of records when it was first built. Just because it is "aged" doesnt mean it doesnt provide the same thrill as the newer rides.

I didnt think it was rough it all. Maybe its just me. Course I didnt find Mean Streak to be rough either...

I agree with MovieCoast. People always complain about Magnums roughness, but it wasnt rough to me (except in the third row when the air time is painful).

I found this ride very rough. The first year I went, I found it relatively smooth, but the ejector air hurt my legs. This time, I was just shaken. My back hurt after riding this one, from the brutal pounding it had just recieved.

Magnum is rougher compared to the newer rides like Raptor or MF but it is still a great ride. I dont find this ride painful at all, infact I think Corkscrew is more painful then this but I also dont find Mean Streak rough, I guess it might depend on how tall you are, Demon being 63 as disavantage to me @ 57, I fit into the cars comfortably and I come of the ride feeling fine.

I actually rode this with demon and two of my other friends, my one friend who is smaller wouldnt even go on it again, but my other friend who is bigger loved it, so that theory actually doesnt hold water now that i think about it.

okay, heres what i meant: i am the kind of person whose hands go up on the lift hill, and dont go back down until the brake run. the hands always gotta be up. so with my long legs wedged into the tiny space, whenever it goes over a bunny hill, my legs would slide forward, and bang into the plexiglass in front on them(me not using my hands to hold myself back in the seat), and they would hit quite hard. my knees were quite beat up when i got off, and that is the cause for my thinking this ride to be rough.

I am the same way Demon, hands dont go down until the brakes kick in. I am able to brace my legs so I dont jerk around much. The ride is great show some love.

yes and there are newer rides that are even more rough. Mean Streak for example. Built in 91 its only 12-13 years old depending on when it was built in 91.

yeah, so that really isnt that old....and mean streak is just brutal, thats not a fair example

with the severity of the beating i got on that ride....i honestly dont know how i avoided kidney failure

No, Mean streak is a heck of alot worse than the Texas Giant. And atleast the Texas Giant doesnt have trim brakes on the first drop.

well im saying...look at the mean streak...its only a little younger than the magnum (built in 89) and its brutal...magnum is older its gonna be painful but there are rides older than magnum that are smoother...example Gemini.

I didnt find magnum rough, but then, im not 63. I really enjoyed, great airtime.

Magnum was rough on my body, it didnt hurt my knees. If I have back problems in a few years, Im blaming them on Magnum. I mean the ride would be fun if it felt like all the pieces of the track were there.

Well, SFGA. I didnt get bruises on Mean Streak or a headache either. Texas Giant does both. I actually thought it was pretty smooth compared to The Beast, which beats both of them out. PKI needs to do some serious smoothing out. They are letting that jem go to the birds. And BTW: Texas Giant is far better than MS. At least you can get off of it, talking about some of the ride. Mean Streak supplies ZERO. You dont even hear people scream.
